PLEASE VERIFY THE CONTENTS OF THE PACKAGES!
PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS ENTIRELY BEFORE
STARTING INSTALLATION.
BE SURE POWER IS TURNED OFF BEFORE
INSTALLING OR MODIFYING THE SYSTEM.
CALL TIVOLI LLC TECH SUPPORT WITH QUESTIONS.
Caution: Litesphere™ ADAPT 2.0 is designed to work with
NRTL listed Class 2 12V DC transformers only. Use of any
other power source will cause damage, shorten the life of
the fixture and will void the warranty. Consult any and all
applicable local and national codes for installation. Do not
conceal or extend exposed conductors through a building
wall as per local electrical code
Warning: With any luminaire for any application, basic
safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock and personal injuries. This lighting
system should be installed by a certified professional.
Risk of injury or fire. Do not cover any luminaire as the
covering may cause it to overheat.
Do not install this lighting system where the exposed bare
contacts can be shorted or contact any conductive material
to reduce the risk of fire and burns.
Do not install any luminaire closer than 6 inches (15.25cm)
from any curtain, or similar combustible material.
Do not use any luminaire if damaged (e.g. broken globe,
loose connections, or frayed wire insulation.) Inspect
periodically.
Do not submerge any luminaire in liquid. Use waterproof
connectors for all outdoor applications.
Do not secure any luminaire with staples, nails or like
means that might damage the wire insulation. Secure it by
using screws through the base. Do not run any luminaire at
an operating temperature exceeding 65˚ C or 149˚ F.
Danger of electric shock. Do not cut while system is
powered! Measure area where system is to be installed
and cut Litesphere™ ADAPT 2.0 lengths to fit.
Installer must calculate wire size between load and power
supply to avoid voltage drop. The wire sizing from the
transformer to the light strings must be carefully calculated
in order for low voltage circuits to operate properly.
Tivoli recommends installing the transformer as close to the
light string as possible. Use 12 gauge lead wire and keep
the transformer within 80ft of the fixture. Consult factory for
lengths over 80ft.
Overview
Litesphere™ ADAPT 2.0 may be cut in the field to match
project requirements. Simply cut wires and connect to
junction box, or connect directly to transformer for power.
Install End Cap (LSL2-EC) on dead end.
Note: Ensure the system is wired for correct polarity.
The brown wire connects to the positive (+) terminal,
and the blue wire connects to the negative (-) terminal
on the power supply.
Shades: Litesphere™ ADAPT 2.0 Strands ordered with
Shades are shipped with the Globes removed for easier
installation of the Shades. Please refer to the installation
options for installing Litesphere™ 2.0 ADAPT with Shades.
Hanger clip mount to Suspension Cable
Illuminate courtyards, streets or parks with festive lighting
using Catenary Cable (LS-CABLE 110, and LS-CABLE 500,
each sold separately). Each cable is a 1/8" dia. stainless
steel aircraft cable. Attach each end of cable to structural
support using Cable Locks (LS-LOCK-2) included with 110
foot Cable Kits or available separately. 500 foot cable is
not sold with locks and must be ordered individually. Follow
instructions carefully.
WARNING: For suspension application, catenary cable is
required to support the product, otherwise the warranty will
be void.
Note: Article 225.3(B) of the National Electrical Code
states that all festoon lighting spans over 40 feet MUST be
supported by messenger wire. The messenger wire shall be
supported by strain insulators. The LS-CABLE options offered
by Tivoli meet these requirements. Consult applicable local
codes for installation.
